Re: Bill Frist\'s wife is doing a book signing at my campus tomorrow
The Frist family made most of their money by taking over a bunch of hospitals, then implementing a policy of sending uninsured patients to the next hospital.
I imagine that a woman who approves of letting people die in order to make extra money is going to give approximately zero [censored] about this bill. That said, thanks for not being dumb with your approach.

Re: Bill Frist\'s wife is doing a book signing at my campus tomorrow
[ QUOTE ]
Just got back. I was one of the first 40 there, which means I got a free copy of the book for her to sign (should make a good Christmas present for Mom). Anyway, Mrs. Frist is a really nice lady and was very open to hear what I had to say. I enclosed my 2-pg printed & signed letter in an envelope and handed it to her after some brief smalltalk about my mom and hometown. I told her there was a piece of legislation sponsored by her husband that recently passed through the Senate and that I have strong feelings about the issue. I metioned that I wrote my Senators already and asked if she could deliver my letter to her husband. Somewhat to my surprise, she said of course she would and asked for my contact info (without even asking which piece of legislation this was about). I gladly gave it to her (it's also at the end of the letter), thanked her for her help and for the signed book, and walked away happy with the results. Overall she was very receptive to hear me out and didn't seem bothered by my second agenda at all. It was actually quite the contrary -- she seemed pleased that a college student cared enough about an issue to go through this much trouble just to have his opinion heard. Although I doubt my work today will have much of an effect on the overall scheme of things, I feel that if everyone else put in the effort I did today that we could actually get something done. I'll keep this thread updated if I hear back from either of them. [/ QUOTE ] You conducted yourself with class. Good job.

Tell her loudly that her husband sent you explicit e-mails when you worked for him as a page as a teenager.

Good job! At least you are doing something which is more than 99% of poker players...

Give her the Nazi salute. It seems to be the in-thing for politicians these days.

If everyone put in the effort to contact their Senator and U.S. Representative there might be a good chance they would listen. However the author of the bill speaking on behalf of the moral majority and family values who is retiring is probably not going to be much help. However, there are plenty of more liberal types who may help us down the road. Have you posted your letter? did i miss it?
